Problems with a simple key stroke

[ktate403]

I am running 3ds max on mac osx Parallels. This has worked for me for four years now.

I don't know if anyone can help me but I am trying to select two control

points on either side of a box (see screenshot).

I have tried control, shift, etc., all kinds of combinations

of key strokes to be able to select both control points to no avail.

 

Is there another way to select wo or more control points besides key strokes?

 

Thanks

what the problem? There selected when the points turn yellow you don't have the move tool selected once you have that selected then you and pull them up down, left or right

Not quite what I am trying to state. What I need to do is select, by drawing a box(dotted lines)

around both sides of the box. In Windows you can select both by holding down the control key.

In Mac OSX, you use the shift key. But, for some reason the shift key is not allowing for multiple

selects. My question is this: is there another way to do multiple selects without relying on kwy strokes?--,

something in the quad menu?? Thanks

maybe your keyboard key has got stuck or warn out try using a cotton bud to clean it. ifthis does not work then you mite need another kb because the keys can get warn out

The thing is that control and shift work in other apps.

I guess there is no other option to this then.

It is the key stroke or nothing.

 

Thanks to all

ok if shift works in other apps then maybe it come unassign for some reason try reassigning it again. go to customize, customize UI (user interface) under the keyboard tab you can reassign it. if this does not work then maybe it's something to do with 3d. the ini has become corrupted.

Went to hot keys in customize and reset them. Now it works.

Thanks.
